@elonmusk @CommunityNotes I agree with you about a lot of things but couldn’t disagree with you and trump more about Ukraine. Future of civilization “trumps” over making deals for the US.

A better AI makes fewer mistakes. A better AGI makes *more* mistakes. And corrects some of them by creative and critical thinking. Or by creatively seeking out interactions with the world and thinking about those. Or sometimes by creatively thinking about what other people say.

Only 1.2% of Indian women consume alcohol. The number for men is 29%, which is still far lower than the global average. I think this explains the lower incidence of cancer in India more than others (eg turmeric which has been hypothesised as a factor in preventing cancer).
